#3 Most times dismissed for LBW

Sachin might not feel too bad if Cook takes this record

When you play as many games as Sachin did, you are bound to accumulate a record or two that you aren't proud of. In Sachin's case, there weren't too many of those in his career, but thanks to the sheer number of matches that he has played, he holds the record for being dismissed for LBW the most times in Test history.

Aside from holding the dubious honour of being the batsman who has been dismissed more than anyone else in the history of Tests with 296 dismissals, he holds the record for being dismissed by LBW (63) more than anyone else.

While Cook has only been dismissed 217 times in Tests, a long way away from Sachin's record. He has been out lbw 42 times, just 21 times fewer than Sachin. With at least another few years in his career, he looks certain to knock the Indian batting maestro off from the top of this record.
